A few problems...

There are a few things I have problems with in version 3.0.2 (v57.2)
of OG Pro.

1) The untitled windows seem to be placement challenged
   and come up in the middle of the screen without regard
   for the placement of the palettes.
2) Text that is vertically placed leaved loads of graphic
   defects (remains of blue selection outlines)
3) Text looks awful when editing large amounts of it.
   Usually when I have a standalone text block, say about
   6 lines of text, when editing towards the bottom of the
   text, most of the text above seems to cycle back and
   forth between bold (although not quite bold) and not
   bold as I type.

For things I would like to see improved:

1) Drawing irregular shapes is a pain.  I would like
   to be able to draw two shaped, stick them together and
   simply join them and have the inner lines removed.
   (for example two squares different sizes abutted
    joined and have them become one shape).

2) Making lines between shapes that have sharp lines
   seems so much more difficult that it should be.

   Making flowcharts or state charts is difficult to do
   without substantial futzing around with lines.

Any help here would be appreciated.
Other than these things I quite like the app.
There are some very NeXT-like things that I really
dislike, but they are easy to get used to (if not actually
like).

Thanks and keep up the good work.
